What is an earthcache????

Lately, i have become a little bit obssessive about finding earthcaches. We currently have 3 in 3 different states :) I went on ground speak to learn a little more about earthcaches. There are over 8,000 earth caches world wide ... thought that i would share what i learned.....

An EarthCache is a special place that people can visit to learn about a unique geoscience feature or aspect of our Earth. EarthCaches include a set of educational notes and the details about where to find the location (latitude and longitude). Visitors to EarthCaches can see how our planet has been shaped by geological processes, how we manage the resources and how scientists gather evidence to learn about the Earth. For more information about EarthCaches, visit http://www.earthcache.org/.
